Driving by her deep will of finding out the serial killer who commits his murders live on the internet, through a mysterious website, named 'Untraceable', as the more people enter the site, the more he hunts his victims easily, Jennifer Marsh, a young successful and intelligent secret agent, does her best and enters the site.
This joyless thriller runs the gamut from unconscionable through unwatchable to unendurable. It's also unfathomable that two talented people, Diane Lane and her director, Gregory Hoblit, got themselves involved in such an unpromising enterprise.
Morally duplicitous torture porn: how else to describe Untraceable, a bleak, rain-washed horror thriller.

Untraceable is prototype Internet conspiracy drivel, with a hackneyed plot years too late and a simple premise of good cops and innocents against sickos.
Untraceable boasts a respected director (Gregory Hoblit of Fracture and Primal Fear), and a popular movie star (Diane Lane) but it's still about people getting tortured to death.
